Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>Introduction: Globally, there are over 190,000 new reported cases of ovarian cancers per annum. This comprises 3% to 4% of all cancers in women. Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths in women. Ovarian cancer is the second most diagnosed gynaecological malignancy and over all the fifth cause leading to death among all types of cancer in the UK in 2004. More than 70% of epithelial ovarian cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Consequently, the prognosis is poor and the mortality rate high. Thus, the survival rate is affected by how far the disea

Abstract:
The high mortality rate associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is due to its insidious onset, leading to late diagnosis as well as eventual development of chemoresistance in the majority of patients. Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are thought to contribute to development of multi-drug resistant (MDR) tumours partly through their high level of ABC-transporter expression, which enables them to survive chemotherapy. ABC-transporter (MRP1, MRP2, BCRP, Pgp) and putative CSC-marker (ALDH1A1, CD44) expression was therefore evaluated by immunohistochemistry in a paraffin-embedded cohort of 57
